Expedition #1160

Expedition #1160 stays in South America at the Easy level: three legs, 9 questions and 11 different countries along the way. It opens with Name the country (3 questions), carries on with Flags (4 questions) and lands with Bigger or smaller (2 questions).

• In the naming leg 3 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
• The flags leg alternates between naming a flag and picking one: 4 questions and 8 different flags.
• The size leg is 2 population duels: which of two countries has more people?

The Easy setting keeps to well-known countries; the wrong answers come from other subregions and are rarely close.

The full route, drawn from capital to capital as the questions come, measures 32,130 km: 10 hops in all.

Tips from the window seat

• Name the country: Count the neighbours you recognise around the yellow shape.
• Flags: Read each flag from the pole side; order matters.
• Bigger or smaller: For population, think of the big cities you know in each country.
